以提高学生的整体素质，着重培养学生的语言为目的。

而教学活动的所有形式都与学生的智力发展，首先是与创造性的发展联系在一起。

教师不再是单一的知识的传播者、发号施令的权威，而是共同学习的参与者和帮助者；是教学活动的设计者、指导者，学生心灵的探索者；更重要的是学生创造能力的开发者。

学生成为学习的主体，学生不再是外部刺激的被动接受者和知识灌输的对象，而是成为信息加工的主体，意义的构造者。

那么，在英语教学中如何实施创新教育，开创新局面呢？一、营造创新环境，激发创新欲望创造丰富的教学环境，激发学生的学习动机。

以平等的心态面对学生，以豁达、开朗、睿智、幽默去接受学生、感染学生。

培养学生的学习兴趣，为学生提供多种便利，为学生的学习服务，努力建立一个接纳性的、宽容性的课堂气氛。

轻松、愉快、民主、和谐的学习气氛和环境对学习者的精神面貌、学习动机、自我形象会产生积极的影响。

而积极、肯定的情绪会使学生的主动性、创造性得到发展，学生的思维会更活跃。

因此，在教学中，教师要努力培养自身的心理素质，把真挚的爱用亲切、鼓励、信任、尊重的情感信息传递给学生，使学生体会到师生共同享有一片阳光的平等。

使学生在积极参与教学活动中感受到自己是学习的主人。

尤其要鼓励那些具有差异性、发展性的学生，使人人处在创造性思维的火花之中。

二、放飞学生心灵，培养创新思维创造性思维是以解决学习中所提出的疑难问题为前提，用独特新颖的思维方式，创造出新观点、新知识、新方法等心理过程。

以“The Merchant of Venice”为切入点浅谈研究性学习在英语教学中的应用新课标人教版

以“The Merchant of Venice”为切入点浅谈研究性学习在英语教学中的应用东北育才学校：赵志强I．研究性学习提出的背景。

1993年2月13日中共中央国务院发表了“中国教育改革与发展纲要”的指导性文件，并在其中第一次提出了“应试教育”的概念，并进行了全会共同的批判；从此中国“素质教育”的口号大张旗鼓地提了出来。

随着时间地推移以及全国各地、各级教育行政部门的共同研究、探索、实践与经验交流，“素质教育”的重要性以及对它的认识也越来越趋于完善。

其中素质教育的核心是：培养学生的创新精神和实践能力更为全体教育工作者所接受；而素质教育得以实施的途径与方法即“以政府为主导，以社会为依托，以学校为主阵地，以课堂为渠道”也得到了广大教育工作者的认同与实行。

自此，以素质教育为中心的“校本课程”以及依靠各个学校本身特色的教育改革也应运而生。

（“校本课程”即建立有自己学校特色的、遵循教学规律、以国家教委的有关教育规定为指导、以培养学生实际应用所学知识、培养学生实践能力以及创新精神为目的、以自创教学大纲和教材委依托所进行的教学改革。

）我校作为优才教育实验基地，教育改革的力度与全体教师的参与意识都促进了教育改革的实施。

本学期，我校提出了以“科学探究”（即研究性学习）为出发点的教学改革与实践。

II．研究性学习的目的与意义。

“科学探究”课程的设置与提出是建立在我国理科教材中过分注重科学的结果（科学知识）而忽视科学方法（过程）的教学现实基础上提出来的；换言之，我国的理科教材相当普遍的忽视了学生的实验，极大的忽视了学生的“想”和“做”，这一点将毋庸置疑的影响和束缚学生今后的进一步发展，同时也将不利于我国的“科教兴国战略”所需求的21世纪的优秀高科技人才的培养。

而“科学探究”课程的设置正是要强调学生亲自经历科学探究过程，并开展以此背景为基础的各种必要的、有针对性的积极的活动；其目标就是使学生通过经历比较完整的科学探究过程，以自身的亲身经历来理解和掌握科学的本质和精神及科学的整体性，并了解科学探究的基本思路和方法，同时促进学生科学探究基本能力和品质的发展与提高。

The Merchant of Venice威尼斯商人读后感

The Merchant of VeniceThe Merchant of Venice is one of Shakespeare's early works. Theme of the play is a celebration of kind, friendship and love.It also reflects the contradiction between the commercial bourgeoisie in early capitalism and loan sharks, the author of the bourgeois society in the financial, legal and religious issues of humanism.The whole passage describe a story that happens in Venice.At that time, a young man named Bassano who heard about news that Portia, a rich man’s daughter, she got three boxes: one gold box, one silver box, and one lead box. If someone chosen the box contained Portia’s portrait, then she would get marry the man. So he determined to win Portia as his wife. However, he needed three thousand ducats to reach his goal at all. Because lack of money, he had to turn to his good friend, a rich merchant Antonio for help. Unfortunately, at the same time, Antonio’s money was put into the business and he could not withdraw it immediately. To help his best friend, he went to borrow money from a wealthy Jewish scrivener ---Shylock as well as usury. Although he promised to lend him the three thousand ducats money . He put forward to a strange request that if Antonio could not repay the debt on time, he would cut a pound of flesh fro m Antonio’s body. And Antonio signed the contact. Fortunately, in the end, shylock was defeated by Portia’s wit and intelligence.At Porti a’s house.there were three choices of boxes .The first of gold “Who chooseth me shall gain what many men desire.”The second, silver, which this promise carries: Who chooseth me shall get as much as he deserves .The third ,dull lead, with warning all as blunt: ‘Who chooseth me must give and hazard all he hath.’Bassanio didn’t let the gold and sliver confused his eyes .Finally ,the box of lead’s ordinary and plain attracted him. The box was reflected his idea of choosing a mate: Focus on inner rather than outward appearance. The inner beauty is more real than the appearance .Though Portia was a unique beauty lady, but there will be one day she will get older and ugly ,when the grace is not in, the inner beauty will remain in people’heart forever. Bassanio understands of the truth profoundly “So may the outward shows be least themselves; the world is still deceivd with a gracious voice.Shylock’s image regarded as a mean and seek nothing but profits man knows to the world.But he also reflected European Governments of discrimination against Jews and exclusion.According to the law that forced to live inside the walled of old factories or slum, doors should be locked after sunset guarded by the Christian. Any Jews left the ghetto to bring some which were "Jewish" identity of Red Hat during the day indicated. Jews were forbidden to have own property, so they can only be usury, money lending interest on it, but this is contrary to the ecclesiastical law. For the merchant of Venice that they turn a blind eye,but for hostile religious zealots, it's just completely different. They'd physical or verbal abuse or deprivation of the rights of Jewish life .From all of this ,we can see shylock is also a pitiful man actually, because of the cruel reality caused the tortuosity of personality .As he said:”Why, revenge. The villainy you teach me I will execute and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction.”His brutal character was contributed by this community ,a society that has serious racial discrimination .However shylock was considered a bad person ,contrasting with the Bassanio、Portia、Antonio ，eventually the bad guys get the deserved punishment, but good people live with a happy life .Later people bearing in mind Shylock of the mean by fair means or foul, instead no one will care about his experience .The language art in this play both individuation and richly colorful、vivid、romatic、flowery language、meaningful.1423044王凌斐。

威尼斯商人The Merchant of Venice读后感

Reflection of The Merchant of VeniceRecently, I’ve read a short story, “The Merchant of Venice”, written by Shakespeare. In this story, Bassanio needs three thousand ducats in order to travel to Belmont in hopes of paying court to Portia. And his close friend Antonio is a wealthy merchant. He asks a Jewish moneylender named Shylock to loan him the money so that he can give it to Bassanio, because his wealth is invested in ships that are currently out at sea. Shylock agrees to loan Antonio the money under the condition that if he can’t return the money to him, Antonio need to him a pound of his flesh. After Bassanio successfully paying court to Portia, he learns that Antonio's ships have wrecked and he will be forced to give a pound of flesh to Shylock. When Bassanio travels to Venice, Portia secretly follows him and she disguised as a young doctor named Balthazar and presents a clever argument that prevents Shylock from getting the pound of flesh of Antonio. Shylock loses his fortune and he must convert to Christianity. In the end of this story, everyone has a happy ending, except for Shylock, who wants to do more harm than good.Actually after reading this short story, as for me, the most impressive character is Shylock instead of any others. Maybe because he is the only villain; maybe because of he is the only one who doesn’t have a happy ending; or maybe because he has a special identity that he is a Jew. As far as I am concerned, Shylock isn’t a completely bad man. Actually, Shylock is one of the most confusing characters in all of Shakespeare's plays. On the surface, he is a villain only concerned about money and revenge. However, when we do an in-depth exploration of this character, we will find the image of Shylock is not a single, but very vivid, rich, complex.He is a Jew, and a usurer. His most distinctive character is stingy, greedy; he regards money as his life and although he holds ten thousand wealth, he never enjoys. When his daughter elopes with her lover, taking with his money, he even curses his daughter and disinherits his daughter. Because he is afraid that someone would damage his interest, he trusts nobody, even the servant who has served him many years. Yes, indeed those are all his characters and the most impressive character of him is stingy, but those aren’t the only feature of the Shylock. If we see him from another point of view, we will find that he also has many other features. He is clever and good at doing business. He loves his daughter and has strong feelings with family. In my opinion, when we judge a person or a character, we can’t just judge from what he do and the absolute moral perspective; we should do our judgment based on the cultural background and what causes his behavior. None is absolutely good or bad.In “The Merchant of Venice”, Shylock is vengeful; he hates Antonio extremely and always looks for the opportunity to revenge Antonio. But there are some reasons for his this idea.He lives in medieval Europe. At that time, westerners believe that the Jewfish people are inferior and shameful, and the Jews are mean in nature. Therefore, in the society at that time, Jews have no status, no political freedom, no basic rights, and they also suffer from many economic restrictions. Westerners generally discriminate against them, and almost everyone can abuse and insult them. In this social context, most Jews have a certain amount of hatred. From Shylock’s words we know that has also suffered the social discrimination. In my opinion, as a member of Jewish people, Shylock’s evil and selfishness, to some extent, is caused by the social environment at that time. His vengeful character has its reasonable aspect; he should be seen as justified in his rage, due to his ill-treatment at that time. In the last part of this story, his relationship with his daughter is broken up. Maybe you will think he is a man who doesn’t careabout affection between family members. But actually he does cherish it. In Shylock heart, the status of the family is irreplaceable. After his wife died, Shylock put up with all kinds of hardships to raise her daughter. In the process of raising his daughter, he poured out endless fatherly love, showing his kindness and love as a father to his daughter. But this unconditional love has not been reciprocated. His daughter thinks that the family is simply hell and unbearable, and finally takes all Shylock's money with a Christian, and abandons the original religious belief and converts to Christ. Seeing in this way, he is just a pathetic father.The image of Shylock is not a single, but very vivid, rich, complex. He isn’t an absolute bad man. If we takes the social background of that time and think about his character more comprehensively, we will he is not just a “miser”.。

The-Merchant-of-Venice-Theme-Analysis-《威尼斯商人》主题分析

Theme: LoveThesis Statement: Antonio and Shylock both “love something” deeply and they are willing to sacrifice for them.In the play of The Merchant of Venice, Antonio is considered to be the “just side” while Shylock is the symbol of greed and spite. However, they both have something that they love deeply and they would sacrifice for it if necessary. Antonio’s “love” is friendship, but Shylock’s “love” is money.At the beginning of the play, the thesis “Antonio and Shylock both love something” is intr oduced. In Act 1 Scene 1, Bassanio is asking for money from Antonio because he wants to win the love of a beautiful wealthy girl named Portia. At that time, Antonio doesn’t have enough money because all his money is tied up in the cargo that is still at sea, but he said, “But go ahead and charge things to me on credit, as much credit as I can get in Venice. I’ll use all my lines of credit to he lp you get to Belmont, to Portia.”(Ⅰ, i) Although he doesn’t have cash for Bassanio, he still tried his best to get money for his friend. Even when Shylock proposes to cut Antonio’s flesh if Antonio doesn’t return the money, Antonio agrees immediately jus t for helping his friend, this is considered to be a sacrifice because Antonio is risking his life. Also, Antonio values the friendship between he and Bassanio very much, because when a person can’t get money directly, he/she will refuse to lend money to others, even his/her closest friend, let alone borrow money from others to lendmoney to his/her friend. But Antonio does it. So it shows that Antonio’s “love”is friendship, and he can sacrifice for it. This is the first appearance of the thesis “Antonio and Shylock both love something deeply”.As the story continues, the other part of the thesis is revealed, that is the “love” of Shylock. Shylock is a mean and greedy man, in Act 3 Scene 1, when Tubal tells Shylock that he can't find Shylock’s daughter who runs away with her love Lorenzo, Shylock’s first reaction is not the safety of hisFrom here, we can see that Shylock thinks money is more important than his daughter, and he even wants to sacrifice her daughter’s life fro money and jewels. So it is clear that Shylock’s “love”is money, and the theme “Antonio and Shylock both love something deeply and they are willing to sacrifice for them”is shown here.The thing that revealed in this scene is also a step stone to Shylock’s action in the court.In Act 4 Scene 1, Antonio accepts the judge made by Portia, “Let me havejudgment and the Jew his will.” (Ⅳ, i)When Bassanio is unsolvable as his friend Antonio is judged to be cut, Antonio faces the death unflinchingly, he told Bassanio,his friend. Antonio never gets benefits from his help to Bassanio, but he values his friendship and is willing to sacrifice his life for his closest friend. At this time, the theme “Antonio and Shylock bot h “love something” deeply and they are willing to sacrifice for them” is developed by the development of the story, the sacrifice of their “love” becomes more and more profound and serious.Finally, Shylock shows his ardently love to money. He would like others kill him in order to keep his money. When the final result of the case comes up, Shylock is judged to take away all his property. When Shylock hears this, he said,ago, but when his money comes to the equation, Shylock immediately says that he would rather die without his property. He is willing to sacrifice his life for money. T herefore the theme “Antonio and Shylock both love something deeply and rather sacrifice their life for it” is revealed in this scene.In conclusion, through the “love s” of the two characters are completely two different things, they love them in same way – willing to sacrifice their life.。

浅析莎士比亚的《威尼斯商人》以女性角色为例

Title浅析莎士比亚《威尼斯商人》-以女性角色为例The Role of Women in The Merchant of VeniceAbstractThis thesis explores the ways in which Shakespeare‟s female characters challenge traditional social norms. Through the comparison of the female characters with Queen Elizabeth and Patient Griselda, this study discusses the implications of the rebellious behavior of the women in The Merchant of Venice. This thesis concludes that Shakespeare purposely challenges strict social views put forward on women by creating female characters who challenge male authority and are celebrated for their behavior.I: IntroductionWhile many scholars have written millions if not billions of pages regarding the work of Shakespeare, the majority of feminist scholarship is quarantined into the later half of the twentieth century extending into today.Traditionally, scholars focused more on the issues about religion and the relationships between the male characters, often contextualizing the events of the play within the Elizabethan era and citing the anti-Semitism rampant in the period by using historical documents. In other instances, scholars have focused on perceived homoerotic behavior between the male characters Bassanio and Antonio, again relegating the role of thefemales in the play to a secondary sphere. Finally, when scholars do focus on any female character in the play, almost exclusively, and understandably, they focus on the complexity of Portia, and Nerissa and Jessica are reduced to a side note.Because of the relative lateness of feminist scholars joining the discourse regarding the work of Shakespeare, large gaps still exist, particularly when dealing with his female characters and their environment that have yet to be fully explored. Many feminist and non-feminist critics have explored the character of Portia in the elapsed time frame since the 1859 source mentioned above.I intend to compare the female characters with other vision of the “Renaissance woman”, Queen Elizabeth , available to men and women living in Shakespeare‟s day. Queen Elizabeth women is iconic image of the English Renaissance. It was obviously a real woman who lived during the Renaissance, and therefore her image and experiences are invaluable in evaluating life for women at the time.In addition, it is important that the Queen Elizabeth women represent ta level of society in which woman was the supreme ruler of Britain and therefore had, in some ways, more freedom than the average female.II: Women characters as Wives roleThis thesis contends that Shakespeare‟s female characters in The Merchant of Venice do not comply with the roles prescribed for women inmore conservative Renaissance literature, particularly with regards to proper behavior for a wife. Furthermore, Shakespeare has given us in the play directly contradict all that the manuals, guide books, and folk stories recommend and instead celebrate an independent-spirited female role model. Shakespeare illuminates three unique women, all of whom rebel in their own ways against the status of women as second-class citizens. Within marriage structure described in The Merchant of Venice, he husband was in charge of every aspect of his wife‟s life. In some text this even went so far as to call the husband “the King, Priest, and Prophet in his house” allowed to render verdicts on every issue in his family. These indicate that women‟s place is meant to be beneath their husbands and is deserved because of the role Eve played in the fall of man was a common tactic to help explain why women were placed below men by nature, custom, as well as in law.Tilney proposes that women have a very specific place in the hierarchy of society, and that all is well if men and women know their place and stay in it. Being aware that Tilney would be responsible for determining if the play contained objectionable content, Shakespeare‟s presentations of the wives in the play suggest that perhaps he took specific delight in making these women expressly the opposite of everything that Tilney indicates that women should be – obedient and governable.The female characters in Shakespeare‟s play come nowhere near fittinginto the neat mold of the obedient, submissive and passive wife idealized in so much of early modern literature. Within this historical perspective, many aspects of the way in which the female characters in The Merchant of Venice behave become very telling.Portia in The Merchant of Venice appears to be making fun of those who tell people what to do. Portia acknowledges that it is easy for church men to give instructions on how to behave, but wonders how many are actually able to follow their own advice.She sets herself up in direct contradiction to the messages being espoused by the church. While these messages certainly pertained to all aspects of life, the proper road to marriage and the roles defined therein were of particular interest. Immediately, we view Portia as in opposition to the dominant forces that surround her.Directly following this initial impression of Portia, the audience hears her and Nerissa begin discussing her suitors in great detail. Nerissa lists out all of her potential husbands while Portia gives her reasons for not being interested in any of them. While the fact that she has no control over her selection of husband is a topic for the next chapter on her role as a daughter, the fact that she mocks ceaselessly all of her potential husbands is a critical point to note.At this point in the play, we have to assume that any of these men could be her future husband, and Portia shows no sign of being the wife detailedin pamphlets in regards to ignoring the faults of a husband. Women were instructed in behavior manuals of the day to ignore their husbands‟ faults or to live with them the best they could.On the other hand, Nerissa‟s participation in this co nversation proves her to be a more assertive woman than is encouraged in the guide books and manuals governing marriage. By being a party to Portia‟s descriptions of her suitors, she is helping Portia to deny male superiority over both of them. Furthermore, as soon as Portia, at Nerissa‟s continual urging, has made her way through all of the descriptions of the suitors, only then does Nerissa reveal that “You need not fear, lady, the having any of these lords. They have acquainted me with their determinations, which is indeed to return to their home, and to trouble you with no more suit, unless you may be won by some other sort than your father‟s imposition depending on the caskets” (I.ii.100-05). The fact that Nerissa has known all throughout her conversation with Portia that the men have given up the hope of being Portia‟s husband is an important point to note for the entire play: at times Nerissa has more knowledge than even Portia. When thinking about Nerissa in the hierarchy of the play, this point seems to be vital. Nerissa is really her equal in many ways. This is further cemented when Nerissa brings up Bassanio immediately after the conversations regarding the suitors takes place. It is not Portia who first names the man that will become her lord, but Nerissa, who shows incredible insightcombined with an astute knowledge of human behavior.From their initial introduction in the play, Portia and Nerissa appear as characters who should not to be crossed; they are purposeful and definite about their feelings on subjects that deal with the opposite sex.The introduction of Jessica is followed by a scene where Launcelot delivered her message to Lorenzo, her intended husband. Interestingly, the words that Lorenzo employs to describe the missive are: “She h ath directed / How I shall take her from her father‟s house, / What gold and jewels she is furnish‟d with” . It is clear that not Lorenzo but Jessica is readying the plans for the escape. Surprisingly, even in today‟s fairy-tale saturated culture, a woman procuring her own means of escape and not sitting back and waiting for her knight in shining armor to burst in and carry her away is relatively feminist. The implications in Shakespeare‟s day are even more so.This idea of Jessica as being the dominant member of the partnership is continued through the scene of her escape from her father‟s house.After the couple has procured the first of the treasures with which Jessica is escaping, Lorenzo informs her that she should “come at once, / For the close night d oth play the runaway, /And we are stay‟d for at Bassanio‟s feast” (II.vi.46-48). This is tantamount to a direct order and, according to guide books on marriage and behavior towards one‟s husband, Jessica should acquiesce to the order immediately regardless of her own thoughtson the subject.However, instead Jessica replies, “I will make fast the doors, and gild myself / With some moe ducats, and be with you straight” (II.vi.49-50). Jessica uses her own decision-making skills to determine that procuring m ore money from her father‟s stash before leaving is the appropriate decision, and she does not ask for Lorenzo‟s pardon or explain the situation.III: Women characters as Daughters role（1000）Elizabethan society viewed a woman as always being under the control of a man where woman as daughter is under the command of her father and later as a wife is under the control of her husband. This chapter explores the notion of the women as independent-spirited daughters in The Merchant of Venice. Portia, Nerissa and Jessica are all daughters in the play before they become wives. All three of the women in the play are evidently the daughter of a father at some point, as all women must be. Just as was the case of the behavioral manuals for wives, strict Elizabethan viewpoints on the father/daughter relationship consisted of rules based on Biblical principles which governed the interactions and relationship between any man and his daughter.Most texts surmise that the primary responsibility of a parent is to provide their child with a solid education in Biblical principal and a strong Christian faith. The emphasis of many of the guide books was often onwhat children owed to their parents. Parents were responsible for administering proper religious instruction and for discipline; in contrast, children owed their parents their very lives. The father was the head of the household, and therefore part of his responsibility was to be in charge of his daughter and many aspects of her fate. In fact, one of the primary in Elizabethan society was to help them along to a good match. Shakespeare‟s treatment of the relationship between father and daughter in The Merchant of Venice indicates that he was not a traditionalist in many senses. From the first interaction between Portia and Nerissa in the play, Portia‟s father‟s decision to leave her fate up to the casket test is called into question. When she asks about the wisdom of her father‟s choice in leaving her fate to be decided by what equates to a riddle or game, she challenges the authority of the man who, according to conventional wisdom, is unquestionable. She questions Nerissa about the logic of allowing such an important issue to be decided in this manner when she says, “O me, the word choose! I may neither choose who I wo uld, nor refuse who I dislike; so is the will of a living daughter curb‟d by the will of a dead father” (I.ii.22-25). Portia‟s statement challenge the strictures put into place by her father, in direct contrast to the Elizabethan idea that children must honor the persons of the aged. Portia‟s questioning nature also immediately puts her in contrast the Elizabethan ideal woman. The Elizabethan ideal of the dutiful and obedient daughter manifests itselfexactly in Grissill‟s response: it should be irrelevant if she wants to marry the Marquis, more important is whether her father wants her to marry the Marquis. At this point, her primary obligation is to her father, until Grissill marries the Marquis and her complete obedience to him is assured. Portia shows n o sign of this blind allegiance to her father‟s wishes – would the Prince of Morocco or one of her other disagreeable suitors win her hand through her father‟s casket test, one finds it difficult to imagine Portia making such a speech.Interestingly, Nerissa immediately speaks up, aligning herself in the audience‟s eyes as the traditional Elizabethan dutiful daughter, clearly stating to Portia that her father was wise and only had her best interests at heart. She indicates that the riddle must yield her a good husband because of her father‟s wisdom. Immediately, it appears that Nerissa believes wholeheartedly in a daughter acquiescing to her father‟s will. However, it is interesting to note that Shakespeare never makes clear whether or not Nerissa really believes what she is saying or if she is only trying to assuage a friend, confidante, and superior‟s fears. It is assumed that Portia would be unable to keep her palace at Belmont and all the grandeur and comfort that her life accords.Regardless of Neriss a‟s attitude and rationale for guiding Portia toward making the “acceptable” social choice of adhering to her father‟s guidelines for her selection of a husband, the question of whether “Portiahumbles herself before the law of her father” . Throughout the play she repeatedly says she will abide by her father‟s decree, but before she ever pledges to make good on the promise she announces to her friend and closest confidant Nerissa that “I will do anything, Nerissa, ere I will be married to a sponge” (I.ii.98-99). This sentence gives credence to scholars‟ arguments (which will be discussed in greater detail later) that Portia does not only not sit back quietly and allow for her father‟s wishes to play out how they may, but takes matters into her own hands. After all, if Portia announces early in the play that she is willing to “do anything” before she marries one of the suitors with whom she has no interest, the likelihood of her being willing to ignore her father‟s decree increases. When Jessica is first introduced in her interaction with her father, Shylock, it appears that she might well have heeded that young women should be not full of tongue, nor use many words, but as few as they may. Jessica‟s response to her father‟s repeated calls for her when she f inally arrives is merely “Call you? what is your will?” (II.v.10). This response bodes well for Jessica to be the contrasting character to Portia and Nerissa‟s more liberated view on the role of daughters. Jessica then listens patiently for all of her fath er‟s instructions about how she should “Lock up [his] doors” and his orders for her to stay inside despite the levity she may hear passing in the street.The second (and only other) line we hear Jessica say to her father is in response to his question aboutLauncelot‟s parting words to her. She replies, “His words were …Farewell, mistress!‟ –nothing else.” (II.v.45). Obviously, this statement is a lie and thus a turning point in our view of Jessica as an obedient daughter. As Sharon Hamilton reasons, Jessic a “says almost nothing to her father during this scene, except to ask …What is your will?‟ and, later, to lie about what Launcelot has whispered to her –not …farewell‟ but details about the elopement” (46).In Elizabethan terms, Jessica is disobeying God. Though she is perhaps gaining the potential of heaven in one way, strict Elizabethan principles dictated that she could be losing the potential of God‟s favor by disobeying her father, her earthly lord.Furthermore, Jessica‟s independence in spite of her father‟s will is manifested in the very fact that she has planned to elope with Lorenzo, despite a complete lack of parental consent for her choice.IV: ConclusionChoices for women in Elizabethan England were intensely limited by today‟s standards, and regulations regarding women‟s behavior and demeanor were rigorously prescribed. Their socially-defined subservient roles to men as wives and daughters dictated that women should always be under the control of a man.But in The Merchant of Venice, Shakespeare raised a voice for non-traditional women. Throughout the play, Shakespeare gives theaudience three independent and spirited young women who all refuse to conform to society‟s rules for them. In almost every respect, Portia, Nerissa and Jessica all behave in polar opposition to the decrees put forward by behavioral manuals.Throughout The Merchant of Venice Portia, Nerissa and Jessica appear as the dominant partner in their relationship with their husbands. These three female characters do not conform to the ideas put forward in Elizabethan pamphlets and guide books about the role of wives. Indeed, Shakespeare wrote women who had to live within the stifling environment of Elizabethan England, but he did not write women whose independent natures and robust personalities would be thought of as admirable by everyone. In fact, many times the women he presents were in direct contrast to all that was written about the acceptable and appropriate personalities and behaviors of the female sex. It is as though Shakespeare is purposely putting forth a challenge in his plays to all those who wrote of the ways in which women should behave. His women explore the much more interesting and dynamic ways in which women could behave. It is clear that the female characters in The Merchant of Venice are the impetus for everything turning out happily for everyone in the end. References[1] B., Ste.

The Merchant of VeniceWilliam Shakespear(1564~1616) was one of the greatest poets and playwrites all over the word. He was born and raised up in Stratford-upon-Avon and he was often called "Bard of Avon". His plays have been translated into many languages and are performed more often than those of any other playwrights. His early plays were mainly comedies and histories while after 1680 his works were most tragedies including Hamlet, King Lear and Macbeth. "He was not of an age but for all time," said Ben Jonson.The Merchant of Venice was a famous comedy written by Shakespear. In Venice, Antonio was such a rich kind and friendly man that he promised his best friend Bassanio to be his guarantor to lend 3,000 ducats from a Jew, Shylock, for all Antonio's wealth was busy on sea. Shylock was a cruel mean Jew, who hated Antonio very much because he had been reviled by Antonio as a usurer. To revenge Antonio, Shylock signed a contract with Antonio and if Antonio couldn't return his money in three mounths, he would take away one pound of Antonio's flesh. Then Bassanio sailed to Belmont with these ducats to woo a beautiful heiress, Portia. Before their start, Shylock's only daughter Jessica slipped away with her lover, Bassanio's good friend, Lorenzo. She took too much ducats away, which made Shylock almost mad later. Bassanio's wisdom and handsome appearence helped him win Portia's love and marry her finally. At the same time, Bassanio got the message that Antonio became unable to repay the loans in time for all his wealth sank. The poor Antonio was arrested accordingly. And Shylock was so merciless that he asked Antonio to follow their contract even he can pay back. Antonio's request to take the judgement till Bassanio came back was permitted.Then the new pretty bride, Portia gave Bassanio six thousand ducats to save Antonio, and she promised to wait him at home. As soon as Bassanioleft, Portia went to her cousin's immediately and got good advice from a counsel. She and her handmaid Nerrisa dressed up as a young judge and a law clerk. Recommended by a great judge, they two arrived Venice as soon as quickly to save Antonio. At the court, Shylock refused Bassanio's six thousand ducats and urged the duke start the judgement. Unwilling to hurt Antonio, the duke can't rebel the law of Venice, so he called the young wise judge to hold this judgement. Potia asked Shylock to show mercy in a famous speech ,"The quality of mercy is not strain'd,It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest: It blesseth him that gives and him that takes." But Shylock refused. Thus the court must allow Shylock to extract the pound of flesh. But when Shylock was cutting, judge added that the bond only allowed Shylock to remove the flesh, not the "blood", of Antonio. Thus, if Shylock were to shed any drop of Antonio's blood, his "lands and goods" would be forfeited under Venetian laws.Finally, Shylock was willing to accept the six or even three thousand ducats, giving up his flesh. However, judge prevented him from taking the money on the ground that he had already refused it. Then "he" announced that the Jew had hurt the native on purpose and according to the law, Shylock's fortune would be given half to government, half to Antonio.This is a comedy with a happy ending: Atonio got amount of fortune, and every kind people had a quite pretty result.。

the merchant of venice读书报告-回复"The Merchant of Venice" is a play written by William Shakespeare, first performed in 1598. It is a complex and thought-provoking play that explores themes of love, friendship, justice, and anti-Semitism. In this book report, I will delve into the main themes, characters, and plot of the play, providing a comprehensive analysis of this literary masterpiece.The central theme of "The Merchant of Venice" is the nature of love and friendship. The play revolves around the relationship between Bassanio and Antonio. Bassanio, a young Venetian gentleman, is desperately in need of money to woo Portia, a wealthy heiress. He turns to his friend Antonio, a prosperous merchant, for a loan. Antonio, who dotes on Bassanio, agrees to secure the loan from Shylock, a Jewish moneylender.This brings us to the next prominent theme of the play –anti-Semitism. Shylock, a complex and controversial character, embodies the prejudice and discrimination faced by Jews at that time. Shakespeare presents a nuanced portrayal of Shylock, depicting his lust for revenge as a product of societal persecution. Shylock's famous monologue "Hath not a Jew eyes?" challengesthe deep-rooted prejudice of Elizabethan society.The play's plot further develops through the subplot involving Portia. She is a rich and intelligent woman, whose hand in marriage is sought by suitors from different countries. However, they must undergo a test set by Portia's late father, involving the choice of three caskets to determine her suitor. Bassanio is successful in choosing the right casket, and they get married. Meanwhile, a parallel storyline unfolds with Shylock seeking revenge against Antonio.As the play reaches its climax, Shylock demands his "pound of flesh" as revenge for Antonio's failure to repay the loan. The courtroom scene, with Portia disguised as a lawyer, is one of the most intense and gripping moments. Portia, through clever manipulation of the Venetian law, saves Antonio's life and defuses the tension between the Christians and Jews."The Merchant of Venice" also raises moral and ethical questions surrounding the nature of justice. The play explores the fine line between justice and mercy. While Shylock insists on his legal right to the pound of flesh, Portia argues for the importance of mercy.Ultimately, justice is tempered with mercy, as Shylock's life is spared but he is forced to convert to Christianity and relinquish his wealth.In addition to the central characters, the play also features a cast of supporting characters that add depth and richness to the narrative. Characters like Nerissa, Portia's loyal attendant, and Jessica, Shylock's daughter who elopes with Lorenzo, contribute to the themes of love, friendship, and betrayal.In conclusion, "The Merchant of Venice" is a multifaceted play that explores themes of love, friendship, justice, and anti-Semitism, among others. By examining the nature of relationships and the complexities of human behavior, Shakespeare provokes the audience to reflect on timeless moral dilemmas. The play's enduring relevance lies in its exploration of prejudice and discrimination, making it a compelling piece that continues to resonate with audiences today.。

the merchant of venice读后感英文The Merchant of Venice' report I love this story very much. This book is written by William Shakespeare, from Canada.This story was happened in Venice. It was about two moneylenders, Shylock and Antonio. They hated each other very much because Shylock always got a lot of rent from other people, but Antonio didn' t. So people did not borrow money from Shylock. And Shylock and Antonio always had an argument when they met each other.Antonio had a very good friend . His name was Bassanio. He always borrowed some money from Antonio. And Antonio never refused to lend him. Bassanio loved Portia, and he wants to send her a gift, but he didn't have any money, so he wants to borrow money from Antonio. But Antonio didn't have money, too. So he decided to borrow money from Shylock. And Shylock was very happy that he had a very good plan to kill Antonio. He wanted a pond of meat from Antonio if he didn't pay the money on time, but he didn't need to pay any rents.But on that day Antonio couldn't pay the money because his ship was broken and sank into the sea. So according to the contract, Antonio should give Shylock a pound of meat from his body. Allthe people in the town came to the court and said to Shylock don' t kill Antonio. But Shylock didn't agree, he still wanted to kill Antonio and don't want any money.Bassanio wanted to save him, but no matter how hard he try, Shylock didn't want the money. So he wanted Portia to help him. And she wrote letters to a lawyer, and she got a way to save Antonio. So she made herself like a man and went to the court. And at last Shylock didn't kill Antonio and even lost all his money. At last, Portia, Bassanio and Antonio lived happily forever. I think Antonio is very kind. He likes to help others even he might be killed. But how about us ?When your classmates need your help, will you help them? When your workmates need your help, will you help them? When strangers need your help, will you help them? When the poor need your help, will you give them some money? Some people may not. But you know, if you are the one who need help, but all the other people don't give you a hand, what will you think? Will you be sad or angry? Then think about them! What will they think? You might think the poor are not really poor. There might be some people who cheat the others, but there are still many people who really need our help or money to live. So I think we still need to help them.A friend in need is a friend indeed. But I' Il say, whatever the person who is, we still need to try our best to give them a hand . So do your best to help others!。

The Merchant of Venice 读后感

The Merchant of Venice by William ShakespeareWilliam Shakespeare(1564-1616) is probably the best-known literary figure in the world.During his time,there was a general flowering of culture and intellectual life in Europe which is known as “The Renaisssance”. In British culture one of the most successful and long-lasting expressions of this development lay in drama. So these circumstances provided him with a fertile soil to develop his works. William Shakespeare came from a middle-class family in Stratford-upon-Avon, but somehow he became a successful playwright and the director of a theatre company in London.. Shakespeare in particular is considered to be among the earliest work to display a “modern” perception of the world:full of moral doubts and political insecurities, where the right of those who wield power to do so is put in question.The merchant of Venice is one of his most famous comedies which also contains irony. Antonio,the wealthy merchant in Venice, loan a sum of money from Shylock to help his friend Bassanio to achieve his marriage.However Shylock is a usurer is characterized by "greedy, cruel, inhuman. And Antonio is such a kind person that he never ask interest when he lend money to others.So Shylock loan Antonio money without interest in attempt to revenge him. Shylock will get a pound of fresh from his body if Antonio doesn’t return the money on time. Unfortunily,all the ships have been sunk, so Antonio could not get back his investment.He is not able to repay on time. Shylock seize the opportunity and ask a pound of fresh.No matter how much people persuade he to give up the cruel behaviour, he has maken up his mind. Shylock accuses Antonio. According to the law, Antonio must obey his words and cut a pound of fresh to pay back to Shylock. I n sake of save Antonio’s life, Bassanio’s fiancee PORTIA disguises as an lawyer and pretend to agree with Shylock. She consents Shylock's request, but by a pound meat must cut a pound of flesh is not much, nor less, more not bleed.Obviously,Shylock cannot carry out the judgment and lose a lawsuit. As the old saying goes, go for wool and come home shorn.He lost all his treasure.The main plots of merchant of Venice are based on ancient tale.The story developes in 3 clues----the Portia's marriage, Bassanio chooses a right box and the lover finally got married; Shylock 's daughter falls in love with Antonio's friend,in despite of opposition by Shylock , they elope finally; The story of "a pound of flesh" is the main thread in Shakespeare' s The Merchant of Venice, by which the three main characters, Shylock, Antonio and Bassanio, are closely relatedShylock,the merchant of Venice,meaning and cruel,regards fortune as he most crucial stuff in life.He has ignorance of family when his daughter Jessica run away with his boyfriend stealing a deal of money from home."She is damn’d for it and my own flesh and blood rebel!" said by him.He was not worried about her safety but cures for her behaviour.No matter how people ask him out of cutting a pound of fresh from Antonio,he refuses.And the following paragraph is his excuse.To bait fish withal,if it will feed nothing else,it will feed my revenge;he hath diagrac’d me,and hinfered me half a million,laughed at my losses,mocked at my gains,scorned ma nation,thwarted my bargains,cooled my friends,heated mine enemise,and what’s his reason?I am a Jew.hath not a Jew eyes?hath not a Jew hands,organs,dimensions,senses,affections,passions,fed with the same food,hurt with the same weapons,subject to the same diseases,healed by the same means,warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer as a Christian is:if you prick us do we not bleed?if youtickle us do we not laugh?if you poisom us do we not die?and if you wrong us shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest,we will resemble you in that. If a Jew weong a Christian,what is his humility,revenge! If a Christian wrong a Jew,what should his sufferance be by Christian example,why revenge! The villainy you teach me I will execute, and it shall go jamd but I will berrer rhe instruction.Shylock is a typical capitalist in bourgeoisie’s accumulation of capital time.He is selfish,greedy and cruel.But at my standpoint,he is a poor guy. His daugter Jessica abandons him and the very last thing left in his life,the treasure is also confiscated. I even feel some friends of Antonio very cruel when Shylock lost the trial,they seize the opportunity and attempt to give his a deadly strike.And all of them are very idealism. Nowadays, it is very normal that bank will require interest if you want to take out a loan.Antonio is too kind to live in today. The goodness of Antonio deepens the evil of Shylock that people feel.These words are said by Shylock when he fails. We sense the how sad he is.Shylock:nay,take my life and all ,pardon not that,You take my house, when you do take the propThat doth sustain my house; you take my lifeWhen you do take the means whereby I live.In the Merchant of V enice, the antagonism in many aspects between Antonio and Shylock have turned them into the round-shaped characters with multiple connotations.Antonio,a very kind person.He cherishs his friend and would like to help them as more as possible even ignore his life. The following conversation is between Antonio and his friends. BASSANIO:good cheer Antonio,what man, courage yet;The Jew shall have my flesh, blood, bones, and all,Ere thou shalt lose for me one drop of blood.Antonio:I am a tainted wether of the folok,Meetest for death the weakest kind of friutDrops earliest to the ground,and so let me;You cannot better be emplyed Bassanio,Than to live still,and write mine epitaphAnd we can sense an air of melancholy is exuded by Antonio though the his words. That may be strang as he is a successful merchant in Venice. The melancholy of Antonio is caused by the serious social background rather than his own personality.Besides that,he is also kind to Shylock. He is a typically good person that you can see in most of novels,darmas and films.ANTONIO: so please my lord the duke,and all the courtTo quit the fine for one half of his goods,I am content; so he will lwt me haveThe other half in use, to render itUpon his death ,unto the gentlemanThat lately stole his daughter.He try to reduce the punishment upon Shylock.Portia the lover of Bassanio,created in Shakespeare’s novels various images of new women whofought against traditional values and mundane moral standards,is brave,intelligent,decisive and full of a sense of justice.In this drama,Portia, the perfect woman makes herself admired and accepted by society through her masculine disguise for she is just and kind.PORTIA: it must not be,there is no power in Venice canalter a decree eatablished.Why this bond is forfeit,and lawfully by this the Jew may clai. A pound of flesh,to be by him tcut off. Nearest the Merchant’s heart;be merciful, take thrice thy money,bid me tear the bond.Tarry a little,there is something else,thiss bond doth give thee here no jot of bliid,the words expressly are a pound of flesh; then take thy bond, take thou thy pound of flesh,But in the cutting it, if thou dost shed,one drop of christian blood,thy lands and goods are by the laws of Venice confiscate unto the state of VeniceThe Merchant of Venice is the peakedness among Shakespeare’s work. In this work, Shakespeare plays the use of a large number of buffoonery, which makes drama in the comedy show the tragic characteristics.Also he tries to explore the old but never to be obsolete topic of money.The factors of tragic-comedy in the drama are analysed as follows: Shakespear subtly delineates the sharp confliction between the user's capital and that of the merchants, which was the social characteristic of Britain during the period of abrupt turn and turbulence. Also, the playwright portrays a gambling character of Bassanio who is bent solely on profit. Moreover, Shylock in the drama is not merely a rapacious or a ridiculous buffoon but also a sufferer of racial discrimination and religious prejudice. The Jewish, for instance, has long been the victim of irony in literary history, in which The Merchant of Venice is a good example. Whereas Shylock, the usurer, is shrewd, mean, avaricious and ruthless but, he, as a pagan in Christian society, is filled with the sense of a nation being oppressed.Antonio presents the embodiment of mercy, generosity and chivalry, but above all he is depressed, which he showed from the very beginning in the play.According to this drama,we can learn integrity,friendship,bravy,and the character of new women. When we eulogize the beautiful soul,we ought to remenber Shylock who is a victim.黎睿琪1002012036 英语双专业2班。

The-Merchant-of-Venice(3)解读

Portia
Portia
• In the play, „The Merchant of Venice, (Shakespeare, 1596-1597), Portia‟s character is vitally important, because she was involved in all the decisive actions and without her, matters would never have been so well resolved. Because of Portia‟s character, it can be said that she would make an excellent leader. There are three important aspects of her character, which demonstrate this assertion and portray her full integrity.
Next, is her quick mind and intelligence; she saw right to the crux of any problems and thought of solutions with speed and accuracy. When Bassanio received the letter containing details of Antonio’s problems, Portia offered the money immediately, to help to get both men out of trouble. It was a rational and decisive solution. When the offer of money did not work, Portia looked for another way out and sought expert help to put her plan into practice. (Act 3, Scene 4, v.49-51)

In fact, I don't think Sherlock is the winner of his life, but he may not be quick enough to be wise or not ruthless. At the end of the event, who is more ruthless than Sherlock does not want to cut meat, but is it not allowed to allow people to die? I'm Sherlock's words. OK, I'll go and cut it and see if I accidentally die, I'll lose my life again. When my knife was only a centimeter away from Antonio's heart, women would have compromised, and the repayment scheme was even more profitable for Sherlock, who had negotiated the initiative. But in fact, Sherlock first encouraged him, but he could not help it. He could only kneel on the ground and beg for forgiveness, so he lost. Just like two people tug of war, people who are discouraged at the crucial moment are injured more.In a word, this story is not a simple "base friend, an intelligence wuner". It is more integrated into the background of the times and reacts to the religious and ethnic conflicts of the time. We often fall into the rut of "the author has a position": since it is not a simple story about wisdom and justice, is it that Savon is ordinary for the Jews? Maybe neither of them. I think it is more in a story, the real reflection of the social life system, history, culture and the existence of oppression, discrimination, praise of good, and also face their own evil, impartial, to convey that "people and things in society are good and evil intertwinedrather than black and white." On the other hand, the setting of "Antonio and babanho is a base friend", which is implied by many ambiguous details, further confirms that "the character is grey", because in medieval Europe homosexuality is a serious crime that should be hanged. Under the system of value at that time, such a setting conveys that the protagonists, who appear to be at the height of moral integrity, are also criminals who are inferior in morality.Let's talk about this one. I despise him from the bottom of my heart. Although his aristocracy did not keep his wealth, he had always relied on Antonio, even his wife's money, and then mortgaged his best friend to his enemy for marrying his wife, a man who wanted his life all the time, and made such a defeat with a grand reason, friendship, alas. Family friend, Antonio, you are still from Sherlock. Though he is dregs, he is sincere. He only wants your life and no wife. Then he took the money to marry the beautiful and rich Baocia with their money, but the tragedy was that Portia was still very smart, which helped him but also buried a time bomb for their relationship. Then Antonio had an accident, and he took his wife's money to save his friends, and finally he saved his friend by his wife. Completely empty handed white wolf, no way, who is handsome? He vowed to Portia that if the ring had left his finger, his life would not exist, and then he turned the ring out for Antonio's salvation, and again, did Savon imply that all the oath was unbelievable? I don't know if Baocia can live happily with a man like such a man, and don't know if she will live in an uneasiness every day, or she will ask Antonio to make a guarantee to make a vow. It's not happy.Sherlock is not a positive character, but he dares to fight. As his classic Accusation: Jews, like Christians, eat the same food,breathe the same air, are cold in winter, hot in summer, stabed by swords and bleed, humiliation and resistance. Imagine if a Jew had hurt a Christian, the consequences were self-evident. Therefore, Sherlock will start the idea of revenge, but it is also reasonable. To be exact, I think this movie is more like a group of fellow bullies trying to bully a lonely old man. The daughter and the enemy eloped, the property was confiscated, the religious belief was also asked by Antonio to convert to Christianity, and the white - haired old man finally lost his previous game in the court. At the end of the film, when the door of the Judaism church was closed slowly, the gaunt figure was left wandering outside. At this moment, my heart sore suddenly. For the Westerners of the supremacy of faith, there is nothing more punishing than the stubborn Sherlock, and nothing is worse than that. Different Venice businessmen, different Sherlock. In the same plot, the same characters will experience different feelings after experiencing more experiences at different ages.。

故事的主人公就是一个成功的商人，他的名字叫：安东尼奥。

他聪明、勤奋、慷慨大方，博得了大家的信任。

所以事业发展很快。

最近又一批买卖即将成功，这使他万分高兴。

这时，安东尼奥的朋友巴萨尼奥，正匆匆走来，原来他深深的爱上了鲍西娅公主，想去求婚。

但他觉得只有自己穿上最好的衣服才能和公主相配，但他现在很贫困，因此只好向安东尼奥借钱。

安东尼奥答应了朋友的请求。

但他全部的财产都在货船上，但货船还没有到岸。

那么只有向夏洛克借钱了。

夏洛克是一个心胸狭窄、贪图小便宜的人，他一直很嫉妒安东尼奥的才华。

当他得知安东尼奥要向自己借钱，心中暗暗高兴。

于是，在条约里写到：“如不按时还钱，就要从你的身上割下一磅肉。

”安东尼奥冒着生命危险答应了。

巴萨尼奥和鲍西娅结婚了。

但是，一个坏消息传入了他们的耳中。

安东尼奥的船队沉没了，夏洛克逼他马上还钱。

但安东尼奥现在一贫如洗。

夏洛克把他告上了法庭，准备按条约上说的去做。

在法庭上法官说：“你只能从他身上割下一磅肉，不允许有一滴血，要不然你就是违约。

”可夏洛克根本做不到。

最后法官判夏洛克败诉，并把他财产的一半分给安东尼奥，另一半归国家。

认真读完一本名著后，你有什么总结呢？这时候，最关键的读后感怎么能落下！那么你真的懂得怎么写读后感吗？以下是小编收集整理的威尼斯商人读后感范文800字（通用5篇），欢迎大家分享。
